Eli Roth Directs a Skarsgard on New Netflix Series

Netflix is on a do-or-die mission to make up for its tumultuous 2011. The company has already begun its foray into the television production game, picking up discarded series like Arrested Development and, potentially, Fox’s recent castoffTerra Nova. But Netflix has also got some of its own original pieces in the works. The newest in this collection is Hemlock Grove, an hour-long horror series with an impressive team behind it.

The series is based on a novel by Brian McGreevy, and will follow a Pennsylvania town resident’s (Skarsgard) plight to solve a local murder, through mysterious, horrific and supernatural circumstances.
